A Look At A Sniper Team In The Ukraine Rebel Army

Crack shot: Mrs Gimrakova claims she has killed 24 Ukrainians during the 15-month conflict in the country

Rock Morin, Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: Ukrainian female sniper reveals how she went from tax worker to pro-Russian executioner who killed two prisoners as they begged for their lives after telling them: 'I have to kill you for my children's sake'

* Oksana Gimrakova has killed 24 Ukrainians since joining separatist army
* Her husband claims Kiev government has a $200,000 bounty on her head
* He told how she executed two PoWs during battle for disputed Ukraine city
* She shot them both despite officer telling her: 'I have a wife and a child'

Before the war, Oksana Gimrakova was a tax collector for the Ukrainian government and had never held a gun in her life.

A year later, after joining the separatist army of the Donetsk People's Republic, she is her unit's most feared sniper.

'I have killed 24 Ukrainians,' the 28-year-old mother boasted.

'And they are offering $200,000 for her head,' her husband Ruslan added with a grin.

While the veracity of the reward figure proved difficult to confirm, the husband and wife do appear prominently on the Ukrainian anti-terrorist watch list Peacemaker.

WNU Editor: If I was told 2 years ago that Ukraine would be ripped apart by a civil war .... I would have laughed it off. Today .... ordinary people who lived ordinary lives for years have now become cold-killers .... and Ukraine as I know it will never be the same.

Well who knows about the veracity of this article, but a few observations. From the way she's holding that rifle all the Ukrainians would have to do is look for a brunette with a black eye (right side). Hubby wearing sandals with clothes still retaining the creases from the laundry. Neither one seems to have out in the sun much and no wedding rings. Other than that it looks like a legit photo for a foreign newspaper article.

typical Russian propaganda, similar to soviet "heroes" Pavlik Morozov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlik_Morozov) and WWII "heroes" Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoya_Kosmodemyanskaya). Meanwhile so called humanitarian convoys packed with arms are pouring into Ukraine from "friendly" Russia...
